Reboot Button RPi4/Libreelec 10.0.1

Hello and merry christmas to you all...

I have for a couple of days searching the net to make a "Reboot-Button" to my Pi. But there is VERY different ways to make it work. I am going to connect the button over pin GPIO3 & Ground, but there is discussions if that is right or wrong. So i wonder, is that ok to do that? And do i need to change in the "Config.txt" or in eeprom as they suggest?

Best regards,Thore from Sweden

Pino GPIO3 (pin 5) --> GND (pin 6)

add to /boot/config.txt

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown

Grounding GPIO3 starts the clean shutdown process.

After shutdown, grounding again power on the RPI.

But .... Librelec will display a confirmation dialog for shutdown.

To bypass that:

edit:

/storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/gen.xml

add:

<key id="61662">Shutdown</key>

</keyboard>

</global>

I believe all this is already in the forum.

There's an app for mobile devices that allows rebooting.
